Scandicare Cares Leaving No One Behind

Our Story - Our Dream

Scandicare Alice and Rosa

The dream of feeling safe with your own body, being healthy and taking advantage of the opportunities you have. The possibilities one depends on for a life, for a future.

As children and young women, Alice Kariuki and Rosa Krohg did not have much. They saw that the same difficulties they had as young girls are still an equally big problem today. They have had a burning desire to help children and young people from the areas they come from. Help so more people can have an easier everyday life. An everyday life that does not stop schooling, due to shame and stigma in young women. An everyday life that does not stop schooling due to small deficiencies and knowledge.

We want to help the vulnerable children with the necessities they need to stay in school. A future.

Who We Are

Scandicare Kenya

We started our work in Kenya, as Nomadic Shelter Kenya (NSK) in 2020. Scandinavian Care Organization (Scandicare) in Norway followed in 2021. In the summer of 2021, we decided to use the same name of Scandinavian Care Organization in Kenya.

Scandicare is a charitable organization that works in Kenya in the development & humanitarian sectors to support the government efforts of alleviating poverty and responding to the needs of the most vulnerable in the society. Our work entails advocacy on children living with disability, economic empowerment, climate change, capacity building and partnership development with like-minded organizations and physiotherapy provision services are work in progress, but plans are at an advanced stage.
